At this stage in the game pretty much everything on the internet about Soros is garbage from the likes of Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, and David Horowitz, and YouTube clips posted by fans/flunkies of the above are so far from any real proof as to be laughable. The only thing potentially dumber would be the Birthers or the chemtrailians.
Soros - liberal, lefty, currency speculator, gives money to bad causes like BLM/global warming kooks/etc.? Yes, absolutely, and he doesn't hide his political activities.
All this other stuff though? Christ, it's a less literate blood libel than The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion. There's enough ammo to go after Soros on stuff he's actually done without smearing him as a kid who survived the Holocaust. This is why Trump is going to lose the election and lose it badly because Clinton's going to have a field day with him because far too many of his supporters are shitheads who travel in the same circle as these lunatics that keep making up this nonsense about Soros.
Is it even possible to have legit differences anymore without resorting to behaving this way? If not I'm going to tap out altogether, log off semi-permanently, and go drink been until the election is over because I simply cannot stand this kind of gutter stupidity anymore. I have to draw the moral line somewhere and a 13-year old Jew in the middle of the Holocaust being smeared by obvious and blatant psychopaths as a Nazi might be my natural limit of tolerance.
And here's a short breakdown of how the Steve Kroft/Soros myth got started.

That exchange leaves out key statements from Soros to make it seem like he unapologetically helped the Nazis. But In the actual transcript, Soros says:
“…I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made … That one should think ahead. One should understand that — and anticipate events and when, when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a — a very personal threat of evil.”
The exchange, as recounted by O’Neill, also leaves out a key part of the interview in which Soros explained why he didn’t feel guilt for helping the Nazis confiscate property:
"I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was — well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in the markets — that is I weren’t there — of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would – would — would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the — whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the — I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.”
